Wednesday, August 4, 2010 ~ 1:00 - 2:00 pm Eastern -- Splitting Your Tax Refund ~ New Developments in the Effort to Use Tax Refunds to Encourage Savings.
Nearly $110 billion was refunded for tax year 2005 to 65 million tax filers with incomes under $40,000 - nearly $1,700 each, on average. Receipt of a sizable tax refund provides the opportunity for tax filers to make a savings decision and direct a portion of their refund to a savings account. In 2003, D2D designed the Refunds to Assets ("R2A") system to test federal tax refund splitting on a small scale. In 2004, over 500 tax filers (average income $13,440) were offered an opportunity to split their refunds and being savings. Almost, about one-third wanted to participate. After several years of testing, the IRS adopted major policy change allowing refund splitting nationwide.
Please join the EITC Funders Network in a conversation with D2D to learn about:
- Lessons learned from refund splitting efforts.
- Work among organizations nationwide to ensure that low-income tax payers can take advantage of this important opportunity.
